Storm Doors To Protect Your Home

Storm Doors

If you enjoy being outside and having the feel of fresh air coming into your home, then a storm door is the ideal way to get the best of both. Not only does a storm door enhance your home’s aesthetics, but it also protects from the elements. There are numerous reasons you should have a storm door. But first, you should understand what a storm door is and its purpose.

What Is A Storm Door?

If you are wondering what exactly is a storm door, it’s quite simple. It is a secondary, external door usually installed to your doorway for security against severe weather. It also allows ventilation into your home during fair weather. Storm doors come with interchangeable glass and screen panels and come in various sizes and types of material such as metal or a polymer. During nice weather, the front door can be opened, and the storm door will give your home ventilation while keeping unwanted insects outside. Storm doors are normally made with three tiers: a front and back layer comprising the exterior, and an inner layer of insulation.

Do You Need A Storm Door?

The need for a storm door depends on your location and the climate throughout the year. For example, if you live near or on a shoreline, a storm door can provide you with additional protection from tropical storms and hurricanes. If you live in a warmer climate and have scorching heat during the summer, the insulation in a storm door can help keep your home cooler. Conversely, if you live in a cooler climate with harsh winters, a storm door can provide additional insulation to your home during the winter. Even if you don’t require a storm door, being able to keep your front door open and enjoy your yard or watch your children play makes it an excellent enhancement to your house.

A Storm Door Protects Your Front Door

If you have invested in a front door that has a crystal or stained glass in it, you need to protect that investment with a storm door. Crystal, stained glass, and standard glass can all be damaged by a projectile in a storm or crack in a hard freeze. Adding a storm door gives you peace of mind that your front door will be protected, and having a decorative front door that is unscathed will help the resale value of your home; it makes a storm door indispensable.

A Storm Door Gives You Lower Power Bills

A storm door can help lower your power bills in the summer heat. A front door is one of the biggest sources of heat loss in a home. A storm door prevents cool air from leaking out and hot air from seeping in. The opposite scenario is true in winter; a storm door will keep warm air inside and the frigid air outside.

A Storm Door Can Help Fight Against Mold and Mildew

Because you can open your front door and your storm door will allow light and fresh air in, it fights against mold and mildew. Sunlight and fresh air are two of the best ways to prevent a home from developing mold and mildew.
